Actually in this case I was working on the basis that it was a PM app
(Solitare I think) that was "locking the system up" and trying to isolate the
VDM/BIOS issues out of the picture. I guess that if there was also a VDM
session running in the background then THAT may have caused the problem to
appear as a PM problem, but I was trying to eliminate the subtleties.....;-)

Cheers.............pk.
